Quote:I see what I did. I was misusing the DIM...AS... statement with a variable list. It's something I remember from way back, using that with lists of variables can give unexpected results and it's safer and no more difficult to declare variables one at a time. Thanks again!
Now you can say the DIM AS TYPE and then do a list for that type eg
```Dim As Long MyLong1, MyLong2, MyLong3 ' <<< all 3 are long```
```
Type MyType
As Integer x, y, z
As _Unsigned Long fg, bg
End Type```
But Yes when you list variables signally line by line you can also document their purpose with comments! Good programming practice specially for big projects.
